Customs agents find 17 Mexican nationals

The driver of the truck stopped at the Falfurrias Border Patrol
checkpoint Friday and agents discovered the undocumented immigrants
with the help of a canine team. Officials reported the 17 passengers,
including one unaccompanied 13-year-old, were given fluids and declined
medical attention.

The driver, a 29-year-old U.S. citizen from Brownsville, was
arrested and charged with smuggling undocumented immigrants, officials
said.
